Default LS: EPC

I have been having epc light on on my Audi A4 model 2007 for a very long time and have replaced almost every part as being reported being faulty by diagnostic machine but the epc light keeps coming arbitrarily. I have realized that if I can leave the car in the sun for a couple of hours when I start the car the epc light comes on and it won't start until sunset when is cooler. Again when I am in a traffic and driving slowly the epc light comes on and the engine will be very hot yet no temperature warning light. What could be the problem related to temperature?

EPC is a generic flag, Electronic Power Control. Lots of stuff under that umbrella. What's your actual codes from a Audi knowledgeable scan tool?

2007 is also going to be a B7 product, so you might want to go to that forum once you have actual codes, as the engines and related systems are different enough from here in B8 land.

From the VCDS version 16.8.3.1 I get the following codes 012555, 001092, 000051, 000579,000135,001796, 008852. The following parts were replaced with new original parts from accredited Audi dealer; Fuel regulator valve, clutch switch, fuel pump, throttle body, fuel filter, purge control valve, pressure fuel regulator.

Whole text from the scan. I don't know what those numbers are, and why would I use my time looking them up when you already have the complete text? Also, it will clarify if that's actually a B7 car and not a B8 car (this being the B8 forum).

Yeah, 8E, not 8K, so that's a B7. You should go over there, as while the FSI and TSI are similar, they have their own particular common failure problems. Looking like some electrical issue, as you're getting electrical errors on three different valves and the ABS and the HVAC, etc. May or may not be related to your fuel pressure problem, as high pressure fuel pump driving by the cam is a common problem area on the FSI. Good luck.

My 2015 S5 just had this problem and Google brought me directly to this thread. ESC lamp came on with a vibration when idle and a very rough acceleration. Problem went away after turning the car off and back on the next day. Took it to the dealer who checked the codes: misfire on cylinder #4. They checked the spark plug and it was fine so they replaced its ignition coil.
